It is curious to watch the faces of people as they enter the great doors of St. Peter's at Rome and push back the heavy leathern curtains that keep out the noise and the air and find them selves in the presence of the most im pressive spectacle on earth, as Byron said: Majesty, Power, glory, strength and beauty-all are aisled In this eternal ark of worship. It Is easy to detect those who have never been there before and those who have become accustomed to its mag nitude and gorgeousness. It requires several visits to adjust the vision and the mind to its colossal proportions and brilliant decorations and enable them to realize the vastness and the beauty of the gcene. The more fre quently you visit St. Peter's cathedral the greater and the more beautiful it becomes, and after a time you are en abled to drink In with complete satis faction the fullness of its area, its al titude and its magnificence. The cost of the building up to date has been more -:han $55,000,000, and the annual expe:2se of maintaining it is about $35,000. An architect and a gang of workmen are always employ edl.-Rome Letter in Chicago Record Herald. Spiders and Alcohol. A student of natural history had been in the habit of immersing for preserva tion his different specimens of spiders and ants in bottles of alcohol. He saw that they struggled for a few minutes, but he thought that sensation was soon extinguished and that they were soon free from suffering. On one occasion he wished to pre serve a large female syider and twen ty-four of her young ones that he had captured. He put the mother into a bottle of alcohol and saw thatb.after a few moments she folded up her legs upon her body and was at rest. He then put into the bottle the young ones, who, of course, manifested acute pain. What was his surprise to see the mother arouse herself from her lethar gy, dart around and gather her young ones to her bosom, fold her legs over them, again relapse into insensibility until at last death came to her relief and the limbs, no longer controlled by this maternal instinct, released their grasp and became dead! He has never since repeated the experiment, but has applied chloroform before immersion. The Parsees. The Parsees are sun worshipers, and it is an interesting sight to see throngs of them on the shore of the bay as the sun rises, apparently from the sea, performing the simple rites of their religion, the fluttering robes showing their fine figures to the best advantage as the day begins. Their religious practices are simple in the extreme, consisting mainly in strict dietary rules and personal cleanliness. The rigid observance of sanitary laws produces the natural result of perfect health among the adults-large fam ilies of active, healthy children anl im mense numbers of old men, gray beard ed, white haired, but erect and prince ly in their gait and attitude despite the naturally enervating character of the tropical climate. Hard to Classify. A local wit was one day discussing the mental incapacity of editors with the late H. C. Bunner. "Now," said he, "what do you think of this: I used to write serious and comic matter for a certain daily, which paid me $20 a column for the humor ous stuff and $10 for the serious. One day the editor asked me to mark my comic things 'C' and my serious sto ries 'S' with a blue pencil, that he might tell them apart Wasn't that pretty rough on him?" I"No," replied Bunner, with a smile and a twinkle i2 his eye, "but it was pretty rough on you." -New York Times. CHEMISTRY OF TEARS. Weeping Improves the Sight Instead of Weakening It. Tears have their functional duty to accomplish, like every other fluid of the body, and the lachrymal gland Is not placed behind the eye simply to fill space or to give expression'to emo tion, says an exchange. The chemical :properties of tears con sist of phosphate of lime and soda, making them very salty, but never bit ter. Their actio~n on the eye Is very. beneficial, and here consists their pre scribed duty of the body, washing thor oughly that sensitive organ, which al lows no foreign fluid to do the same work. Nothing cleanses the eye like a good salty shower bath, and medical art has followed nature's law in this respect, advociting the invigorating solution for any distressed condition of the optics. Tears do not weaken the sight, but improve it. They act as a tonic on the muscular visior, keeping the eye soft and limpid, and It will be noticed that women in whose eyes sympathetic tears gather quickly have brighter, tenderer orbs than other i. When the pupils are hard and cold, the world attributes It to one's disposition, which is a mere figure of speech, implying the lack of balmy tears tha t are to the cornea what salve is to the skin or nourishment to the blood. Savage Legends. The savage islanders of the south Pacific believe that the world is a co coanut shell of enormous dimensions, at the top of which is a single aperture communicating with the upper air, where human beings dwell. At the very bottom of this imaginary shell Is a stem gradually tapering to a point which represents the beginning of all things. This point is a spirit or demon without human form, whose name Is Root of All Existence. By him the en tire fabric of creation is sustained. In the Interior of the cocoanut shell, at Its very bottom, lives a female de mon. So narrow Is the space Into which she Is crowded that she is oblig ed to sit forever with knee and chin touching. Her name is The Very Be ginning, and from her are sprung nu merous spirits. They inhabit five dif ferent floors, into which the great co coanut is divided. From certain of these spirits mankind is descended. The islanders, regarding themselves as the only real men and women, were formerly accustomed to regard stran gers as evil spirits in the guise of hu manity, whom they killed when they could, offering them as sacrifices. The Mace In England. Every deliberative civil body in Eng land, even down to the town councils, is provided with a mace, which Is brought forth with solemn ceremony and placed on the table before the de liberations begin. In one or two city councils a candlestick of silver is add ed to the mace, and acts passed in the absence of these objects are supposed to be il11aLn HE SIGNED HIS NAME. Story of Frank Hatton When He Be came Postmaster General. "Frank Hatton was a great stickler for details," said a former representa tive of congress who had been in Washington when Mr. Hatton was postmaster general the other day, "and when he entered the cabinet In the lat ter part of Arthur's administration he carried this habit with him. He let it be known among the heads of bureaus and divisions that he proposed to fa miliarize himself with the business of the departuient until he had grasped all the details of the work over which he presided. "The second day at his desk the ven erable colored messenger who attended him brought the usual large bundle of letters to be signed. It was a pile of typewritten epistles, inches thick. The messenger placed them before Mr. Hat ton and, with a blotting pad In hand, stood waiting for the signature, as he had done for Mr. Hatton's predecessors since Hayes' time. The first letter was a long one on a topic with which the new postmaster general was not famil far and so formal, legal and involved that one reading did not make Its meaning clear. Mr. Hatton hesitated, wrinkled his forehead and mused to himself: "'What's this all about anyway? It's all news to me. I don't know whether I approve of the things it says or not. I can't make head or tail out of it. I don't know whether it's a good thing or not.' "The old messenger, standing with blotting pad raised, leaned over and placed his forefinger on the space at the end of the last page and answered: "'Well, neither do I, but you sign your name there.' "Mr. Hatton signed."-New York Times. Queer Freaks of Flowers. "Why is It," complained the man with a grouch to a restaurant keeper yesterday, "that you fellers hardly ever have any flowers in your old joints?" The hash founder looked up. "Flow ers won't live in restaurants," he said. "The smoke and odor of the cooking seems to smother them, and they never thrive. I've tried it dozens of times, and always with the same result. Put flowers in a saloon, though, and they grow and bloom in splendid shape. The tobacco smoke, I suppose, serves as a fumigator, and the fumes of the liquor apparently stimulate them. If you want to make a success of flowers, pust them in a grogshop. To stunt or kill them, a restaurant is the best ever."-Duluth News-Tribune. The Growth of Seaweed. Seaweeds vary surprisingly In their habits of life. Some species grow al together beneath the water, attaching themselves below the lowest tide level, other frequent heights where they are' left dry at every retreating tide, while others yet are found In situations where they are scarcely ever covered by water. Whereas most of them at tach themselves to rocks or solid bot tom, keeping to the shallows, there are exceptions to the rule, among which the most remarkable Is the sargasso or gulf weed, which floats on the, surface of the ocean. Immense fields of it are seen by the navigator, extend ing as far as the eye can reach. It is sometimes so abundant as seriously to interfere with the progress of ships,, and it was this which so alarmed the, crew of Columbus on his first voyage of discovery. Wrath Disarmed. A little Cambridge girl was discover-: ed whispering In school, and the teach er asked: "What were you saying to the girl next to you when I caught you whis pering?" The little culprit hung her head for a moment and then replied: "I was only telling her how nice you looked in your new dress." "Well, that-yes-I know-but we must- The class In spelling will please stand up."-Christianl Register. A Sinlune Process. "This," said the fond father to the dermatological expert, "seems to be a pretty big bill for the treatment you have given my daughter." "It was a difficult treatment," ex plained the skin doctor. "You see, we had to remove all the cuticle from her cheeks and graft a new epidermis upon them." "Well," said the father, reaching for his checkbook, "I don't know which one of us you skinned the most."-Bal timore American. The Indigestible Banana. "Next to pork," says a physician, "bananas are the most indigestible thing a person can eat, and If you will notie you will see them touched very sparingly by people with weak stom achs. If you can digest them, however, and don't mind the offensive odor, they are very nourishing, and one can make a meal on them that is in every way equal to a substantial l'anch of bread and meat" The Only Chances They Have. "All Joshua wants," said Farmer Corntossel's wife, "is a chance to show what he can do." "Yes," said the farmer; "I s'pose so. Josh is one of those people who never seem to get a chance to do anything except something they can't do." Washington Star. Afraid. "I would marry that girl but for one thing." "What's that-afraid to pop the ques tion?" "No; afraid to question pop."-New York Herald.

THE swIrr s Where Four States Meet. It is queer to think of the possibility of being in four states at once, yet there is one spot in the 'United States the only place In the world-where it is possible. Look on your map of this country, says the St. Louis Republic, and you will find an intersection be tween two straight lines, where Colo rado, Utah, New Mexico- and Arizona meet. The place is not often visited, as it is not easily reached. The stone erected there by the government surveyors is on top of a spur in the Carriso moun tains. The nearest railroad town is Mancos, Colo., nearly 100 miles from the "four corners." The region about was once densely populated by cliff dwellers, but now there are no human beings within miles. Tea In Kashmir. There are two ways of preparing tea in Kashmir. The first is to put the tea in a pot with cold water and boil it for half an hour, when more cold water is added, after which it is boiled for an other half hour. Milk is then added and it is ready for drinking. The sec ond is to place the tea In a pot with a little soda and water and boil for half an hour as before. Milk, salt and but ter are then added, after which it is boiled for another half hour, when it Is ready. I The Emerald's Power. Emeralds from India, Persia and Pe ru are the most valuable. According to their tints and their luster, they are classed as prosines, neronianes and domitianes. According to Suetonius, Nero used to look at the fighting gladi ators In his emerald. The stone is the emblem of charity, hope, joy and abun dance. It had the reputation of curing epilepsy by application and of being an all round pain killer. Iron and Copper. The world could not get along today without iron and copper. The entire loss of all the gold and silver in the world would not be nearly so serious as would be a sudden exhaustion of all the iron and copper, since iron is used for all purposes of construction, and copper is an absolute requisite in the use of electricity to the enormous ex tent which now obtains.
